FAS Series Straight-Connection Type
Detailed description
The FAS Series straight-connection type features a straight-through structure that allows airflow to pass along a direct path, minimizing pressure drop while supporting high flow rates. This design makes it especially suitable for circuits where rapid response is essential.
For simplified installation, a one-touch direct connection is employed. One end uses a quick-connect fitting available in sizes ranging from φ3.2 to φ12, while the opposite end is fitted with an external thread compatible with M, Rc, G, and NPT standards. The plug-and-play nature of this configuration enables tool-free assembly and disassembly, aligning with SMC Europe requirements.
Installation flexibility is further enhanced by a rotatable valve body, which can be turned 360 degrees. This feature simplifies pipeline alignment during setup, allowing for easier integration into existing layouts.
In terms of functionality, the FAS Series is primarily configured for exhaust throttling as standard. This setup controls both extension and retraction speeds of cylinders, offering reliable performance in pneumatic circuits. Alternatively, intake throttling models are also available to accommodate different application needs.
To improve operational reliability, the needle valve incorporates an anti-dislodgement mechanism that prevents unintended detachment even when the valve is adjusted beyond typical ranges. Additionally, a push-lock handwheel allows the setting to be secured with a simple press, preventing flow drift caused by vibration during operation.
Overall, the FAS Series combines straightforward airflow design, versatile connection options, and robust locking features to deliver consistent, responsive control in a compact and user-friendly form.
